8 | Creates virtual block devices called /dev/zramX (X = 0, 1, ...). | |
9 | Pages written to these disks are compressed and stored in memory | |
10 | itself. These disks allow very fast I/O and compression provides | |
11 | good amounts of memory savings. | |

13 | It has several use cases, for example: /tmp storage, use as swap | |
14 | disks and maybe many more. | |
